Stuart's modest carry numbers point to a scrum half who prioritises service and game management over personal ball-carrying ambition, averaging just over two carries per outing across five matches. His tackle contributions are where he stands out most clearly — a seven-tackle performance in his best defensive game suggests he is prepared to get involved well beyond the ruck when the situation demands. Across his 229 minutes of action, the consistency of his numbers paints a picture of a composed, low-risk operator who keeps things ticking rather than seeking the spotlight.
